John Chow released an ebook earlier this year. The book was largely a summary of his better posts relating to making money online. John’s written some very useful things on the topic throughout his blog so it’s really nice to have a concise summary of this kind of information.

While something like this sounds very appealing, what proof do you have that it will actually work for you? Well John’s about to put his money where his mouth is, literally. With a $100 budget, John’s going to set out to create an anonymous blog that will generate real revenue. He’s leaving it up to his readership to determine what revenue target he should aim for. Most people are saying that anywhere from $3000-$4000 would make him a “somebody”. While that’s certainly an impressive amount of revenue, for me it’s not enough to make you into a “somebody” within the blogosphere.

For me, $10 000/month is the magic number. From what I’ve seen online, you generally need to be pulling enough traffic to generate that amount per month in order for people to have an idea of who you are. It doesn’t have so much to do with the actual dollar figure, but more with the required readership/traffic needed to be able to consistently meet that target. Sure $4000 a month is enough to earn a living which is the big target for many people trying to earn money online. But just because you’re making a living doesn’t make you a somebody. It’s possible to earn enough to live on without having a notable blog, hence without being a “somebody”.

I can’t wait to see the results of John’s efforts. I have no doubt that he can reach whatever target he sets for himself, it’s all just a matter of time.
